The Wind and The Wave - Edge Of Seventeen lyrics

Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo And the days go by Like a strand in the wind In the web that is my own I begin again Said to my friend, baby Nothin' else mattered He was no more Than a baby then Well, he seemed broken hearted Somethin' within him But the moment That I first laid Eyes on him All alone on the edge of seventeen Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo Well, I went today Maybe I will go again Tomorrow, yeah, yeah Well, the music there Well it was hauntingly familiar When I see you doin' What I try to do for me With their words of a poet And a voice from a choir And a melody Nothin' else mattered Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo The clouds never expect it When it rains But the sea changes colours But the sea Does not change So with the slow graceful flow Of age I went forth with an age old Desire to please On the edge of seventeen Oh..... Yeah, yeah Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo Well then suddenly There was no one left standing In the hall, yeah, yeah In a flood of tears That no one really ever heard fall at all When I went searchin' for an answer Up the stairs and down the hall Not to find an answer Just to hear the call Of a nightbird singin' Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo Well, I hear you In the morning And I hear you At nightfall Sometime to be near you Is to be unable to hear you My love I'm a few years older than you Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
